Li Mingxi gave her face and didn't say much. He just listened quietly to the two old ladies chatting.
I don’t know how, but as I was talking, I ended up talking about these young people!
"Hey, sister, if you ask me, children are all debts. I live in the city with my eldest son, but my family members are a little reluctant. They come here every once in a while to ask for money from my eldest son!"
Li Mingxi was a little shocked when she heard this. She looked at the old lady next door's clothes and thought she was from the city. After a long time, she found out that she was from the countryside just like them!
"But you said that every household has a hard time. Even though the eldest brother and his wife each get a salary, they can't afford to waste it like this. To put it bluntly, the eldest brother has supported me and my old man, and he hasn't asked his brothers and sisters to work hard. He has already done his utmost to be kind!"
At this point, she sighed, "Alas, these children are all debts!"
Niu Cuihua nodded. That's right. Although all the children in their family are filial, each of them is not reassuring. Just like the eldest couple, they are stubborn all day long and will not adapt to any situation. Apart from farming, there is nothing else on their minds.
Although the second child is smart and good at work, he doesn't care much about the family. Otherwise, the kitchen would not be empty!
Besides, the third brother is not smart, but he married a troublesome wife. Now it’s also about that damn girl Sanni, who only knows how to cause trouble all day long!
To be honest, she even suspected that Sanni had inherited Liu Zhaodi's ability to cause trouble for the family.
"I advise you to be more open-minded. Every family has its own problems. We have a lot of troubles at home too. But, no matter what, the children in the underground are all good. For example, my little granddaughter was so smart when she was in school!"
Li Mingxi didn't know that her grandmother was so good at changing the subject. She was able to praise her in a roundabout way in this situation. It was really awesome!
"Oh, really? I was saying, your little girl looks smart, but I never realized it!"
Hearing this, Niu Cuihua straightened her waist, as if he was praising her!
"That's right! If she hadn't been unable to take the college entrance exam, this girl would have already been a university student. But now, there's news that the damn college entrance exam will be reinstated. She'll definitely be able to pass!"
The old lady nodded in agreement, "I've heard the news too. Our eldest grandson has been studying really hard lately, hoping to pass the exam!"
Having said that, she turned around and looked at Li Mingxi again, looking her up and down carefully, and then thinking about her eldest grandson, who was tall and strong, she felt that the two of them standing together were a perfect match!
So, Li Mingxi saw that the old lady was talking happily with her grandmother just a second ago, and then turned around and looked at her with satisfaction, making her feel like a commodity that was valued by others!
I feel uncomfortable because I messed up!
Just as she was thinking this, she heard the old lady talking to grandma.
"Old sister, how old is your little granddaughter? My eldest grandson looks about the same age as her and is still in school."
"Not very old. The main thing is that this girl started school early. Look, she graduated a long time ago!"
Seeing that Niu Cuihua refused to tell the truth, the old lady did not get angry, but just nodded lightly.
"Is that so? I was wondering why this girl doesn't go to school since she looks young. So that's the reason. From this perspective, this girl is really smart!"
Niu Cuihua nodded, "She's smart, of all the grandchildren I have, she's the one closest to me!"
Maybe it was because grandma was always praising herself, which made the old lady think she was bragging, but Li Mingxi obviously felt that the old lady was not as enthusiastic anymore, and just laughed along twice.
The few of them walked forward while talking, and soon arrived at the family compound. When they reached the door, Niu Cuihua put down her backpack, took out a handful of vegetables from it and was about to put them into the old lady's basket.
When the old lady saw what Niu Cuihua was holding, she quickly put the basket behind her and said, "What are you doing? It's just some food. It's not that serious!"
Niu Cuihua said with a straight face, "Of course not. If I borrowed things from you every day and didn't return them, would you still say that? Besides, if you borrow and return, it won't be difficult to borrow again. We are still neighbors and have troubled each other a lot. There is really no need to argue back and forth over such a small thing. Wouldn't it affect the relationship between the children?"
As she said this, she quickly put the things in the old lady's basket, and then walked home with the basket without looking back.
When the old lady saw her like this, she looked at the vegetables in her basket and shook her head in amusement.
Sure enough, it was just as my son said, this is a family that doesn’t like to take advantage of others!
While Niu Cuihua was arguing with the old lady, Li Mingxi was the first to enter the house.
As soon as she saw Niu Cuihua coming in, she walked up to her quickly and spoke carefully.
"Grandma, we finally made it to the county town, can I go see Sisi?"
Hearing this, Niu Cuihua looked up at her granddaughter.
Seeing his grandmother looking at him, Li Mingxi had nothing to be afraid of and continued with what he had just said.
"Grandma, just agree to it. I haven't seen Sisi for a long time. You know Sisi works alone in the county town. There's no one in her family to rely on. It's all up to me to visit her regularly. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of life she'll have!"
After saying this, she looked at Niu Cuihua with longing eyes. Her little appearance looked so pitiful.
Niu Cuihua originally disagreed, but there was nothing she could do. Being looked at by her like that, she always felt like she had done something wrong if she didn't agree!
"Okay, okay, go if you want to, but first, make it clear that you don't go to places where there are no people. Otherwise, if you get lost again like the other day, how will grandma live?"
Seeing that grandma agreed, Li Mingxi immediately smiled.
"Okay, I know. Don't worry, grandma. I was careless last time. I won't do that again this time!"
Niu Cuihua also knew what happened last time. It was all Sanni's fault. Who could have thought that her cousins would actually harm her? But she still had to say what she had to say.
Seeing Li Mingxi's happy look, she couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "Don't be too happy, I'm telling you, you have to come back by 11 o'clock at noon at the latest, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
